legacy comics criticism.

my main dislike of it is the distance from other books. it all needs to line up, so plots may be inevitable. For example, we now know ben had a son/grandson called kol skywalker. we also know that at one point, the Fels become emperors of a new empire. it's giving authors guidelines which you really can't do for a novel. it doesn't let the mind run free.

I agree on the Skywalker thing, but i doubt there's only one family with the last name of Fel, even though you're probably right.
We also don't know how it happens, which is what other people can come up with.

Let's face it, though it's going to be Jag and Jaina's descendants, or perhaps another descendant of Jag.
also, pre-Krayt, a picture of peace is given. I don't know about you, but peace isn't generally very interesting. you need conflict to interest you.

Do you know the Jag and Jaina had kids?  No.
A picture of peace?  They just came off a galaxy wide war, then skipped seven years to a more rebellion-esque resistance.

[vadereclipse]

no. pre-130ABY or at least pre-100ABY.

expand on this...... i guess i don't understand what you're saying no to

[vadereclipse]

well, they had everything together, with no obvious opposition, the ossus project was going on. The vong were on good terms with people! you have to admit that suggests a picture of peace. then krayt fucks everything up by alienating the vong? to disturb a longlasting peace isn't exactly easy.

Just means the team that made it had some good plot elements.
